Never give up your dreams. If you need help understanding something don't hesitate to ask. If you need help on making a game, I love to help out by collaborating together. I have a Bachelor Degree in Information Technology and I would love to collaborate on a project. I am new to Godot and Game dev stuff, but I find it fun and challenging. A few pointers is never doubt what you can do. All things take practice. I learned how to play the guitar in a year, with no teacher just so I could add music to my game projects. I am rusty with drawing but I still have talent in that area as well. Keep practicing, do some Leet Code after you are comfortable with a programming language, find time to practice and learn all you can about it. Learn the frameworks and build the game project. If you never programming and terminal program before, I suggest you grind that as well because once you got the fundamentals down, coding is easy. The hard part is designing your project and see it through . Also if you have not already, get a pyshics and math books, because learning math will sharpen your thinking. Last but not least, I recommend reading books for entertainment and knowledge because reading sharpens your brain after so long.
Game Dev without a Mentor is impossible for me

Books work, once you learn the fundamentals, you can modify the tutorials for your use. I learned how to program ALLEGRO5 using a book that was written for ALLEGRO4. The framework changed greatly , but its still possible. for the latest thing, I would learn from the documentation and practice. Reading sharpens the mind, I would not underestimate it. A person knew to programming can learn a lot from an old book. Outside of programming, I think learning algorithms is way more important. Languages are only tools. I use C++ with ALLEGRO5 in my attempt to make games from scratch. I am even learning how to program in Assembly just for fun and deeper understanding of how computers work. I find it amazing that in assembly, you are assigning references to register in your computer and then you have to dereference them to access data.
Fruitdude Do you want to team up to make a game Fruitdude? Right now, I am making a 2D game, but in the future I also want to make a 3d game. My skills are in Software Engineering, Music and Drawing. I do not know how to create 3d stuff but I am willing to learn blender to figure that out if need be;however, I believe the best way to make a great game is to have a great team. Message me if you are interested. I am also on steam my user name is RIon add me with a text if are willing to join me.

A 2d game that I created to help teach kids Geography. Students play as a bee that answers question by landing on followers. The player must avoid hornets while answer question. The game player like an Atari game so it runs until you die or you quit the game. Four Hornets gradually appear as the player progress in the game. Flower are generated randomly on the screen. I built thing game using Godot3.5. The game has a pause function, animation , sound for when you hit the flowers or get hit. I created this game in six months in GDScript.

Im slowly starting my journey. Ofc, im starting with 3D game dev. Have pratically no background in anything. Im an ex NPC. I have written few scripts to do work for me in other fields using VB.net, few javascript/ecmascript backends for my services in my homelab. I have not much education. Didnt go to no university. All my knowledge is lazily learned through tutorials and asking on forums like this - why no work here?
Developing something without prior experience and knowledge is hard. In the past year and a half, since i started my homelab journey i learned a lot on how to use linux. Imagine that. And i have come to the point where i love linux more than windows. Been and still am using windows because it just works, and not ready to move to linux. Maybe when win12 is gonna release then ill move.
Also learned to use blender right when they released 2.8. before that i remember blender was really awkward and it had game engine. I was thinking to learn that at some point but it seems that it dissolved into nothing.
Imo if you want to achieve something then nobody can help you to achieve that in your place, unless you do it yourself.
kuligs2 One person did not build Starcraft, Mega Man , Donkey Kong Country. Sure one person could have built those games but it will take longer. Do you have a bias against education or something? I could careless if a person formally educated or not, as long as the person has a passion and the drive to learn. Tech professionals are always learning it does not stop when schools is over. Working with a team is a great learning exprience!
I already built a game by myself three in total. The other two were written in JustBasic. If you dont want to join me that fine, but you assumed the worst from me simply because I have a Degree, I find that very silly.
